NBA 25.01.2009

For today matches in NBA there are 2 bets that are too good to be missed. It’s a little early for NBA picks but one of the matches starts in 13:00 ET (19:00 CET).
Boston Celtics – Dallas Mavericks
This is the match mentioned above. Boston, after their creepy streak of only 2 wins in 9 matches, finally came back to their champion style and won 7 in a row. Also they won last 5 with double-digit margins – 118:86 and 105:85 against New Jersey (first in Boston, second in New Jersey), 104:87 home win against Phoenix (after half-time the result was 64:34 for Boston but after that they used their bench players and won by “only” 17 points) and 2 away wins versus Miami and Orlando, respectively 98:83 and 90:80, as they became the first team this season in NBA which hold Orlando to only 80 points. In their home matches Boston are ruthless and they recorded 21 wins and only 2 losses. In the last 14 matches, Celtics are 11-3 ATS. Also they are 9-2 in last 11 versus teams from Southwestern division. Tony Allen is questionable for the game but his missing will not be important for the hosts. This is the last match of 4 games road trip for Dallas. Till now they recorded 2 wins and 1 loss and they can afford one loss against the in-form champions Boston Celtics. But in the 3 matches of this trip Dallas showed that they are one of the most inconsistent teams in NBA. Only in 2 days they were trashed by Milwaukee (99:133) and after that they humiliated Detroit in Pistons’ own hall (112:91). So today I expect another their loss with 10+ margin.
Pick: Boston Celtics (-9.5) @1.90 in bet365.
Boston Celtics 124:100 Dallas Mavericks
Indiana Pacers – Charlotte Bobcats
I can’t understand why the public money are on Indiana today. Charlotte undoubtedly made one very good deal with taking Boris Diaw and Raja Bell instead of Jason Richardson and in last 10 games Bobcats are with only 3 losses. One of them came on their own ground by only 2 points against SA Spurs (94:96) and the other two were when Bobcats visited Philadelphia and the perfect home team of Cleveland. Despite these losses they managed to beat Phoenix Suns in their last match (98:76) after very good display by the former Phoenix players Boris Diaw and Raja Bell. And today they will be with very high spirits. Indiana are in 4 winning home streak, but before that they were with 5 straight home losses and I think that if they can’t lose tonight versus Bobcats, they will win the match hardly with 1-2 points. Still more, the Pacers are the team with the most games being decided by shots in the last seconds of the games. I can’t see why Indiana are so big favourite when Charlotte are 7-1 ATS in last 8 matches in Indiana and 12-3 ATS in last 15 games between these two. Early this season Bobcats won here with 115:108 after OT and why they can’t do it again? So value is definitely on the visitors. But as I said, the people make mass bets on Indiana so you can wait for some time because the spread for the Bobcats may raise.
Pick: Charlotte Bobcats (+3.5) @1.90 in bet365.
There are still no odds for straight win for Charlotte but i think that the money line will be at about 2.30-2.40 so it’s also a value bet.
Indiana Pacers 98:93 Charlotte Bobcats

The spread for Bobcats is +5 at the moment and the Money Line is 2.75. I think that there is potential to raise by minimum 0.5 points so if someone wants to bet them let’s wait
After the blow-out of Celtics over Mavericks, two missed shots in last 5 seconds, and two missed free-throws and 2 more missed shots at about 30 seconds remaining, by Charlotte blew up the bet. But this is NBA – Where amazing happens..I hope that those of you who followed me on this bet took it on +5 and your money are paid back.
